    Exactly - If kids can spread head lice, they'd certainly be able to spread the virus!

    Actually lots of people before schools closed to everyone were getting Covid from children who were catching it at school then passing it along their households.

    In regards to the teachers like police and early years workers they want to be a priority group before people under 60.

    However as the government has not vaccinated all over 80s who aren't in care homes or bed ridden before it started vaccinating those under 70, I don't know how they are going to do this.

    But everytime you open your mouth you make an absolute tit of yourself so the best advice is for you not to ask you.

    On a more serious note, how are boarding schools covered? You'd think a captive population of kids avoids the main problem that schools pose. Not sure how many proper boarding schools there are any more though?

    Inneresting fact. Private schools in the UK are called public schools (as you know). They are called public schools because anyone, with the means, can send their children there. It was an alternative to hiring governesses and tutors in the home.


    So I guess if Eton is closed they'll go back to the old ways.
    My children go to independent schools, fees are reduced with 20% during lockdown
